During construction, the streets will remain open to traffic and emergency vehicles on weekdays. If a road closure is required, it will be done on a weekend and a signed detour will be in place. Driveways to businesses will remain open and accessible during construction. Pedestrians should follow any posted detour routes. Construction is expected to be completed by mid-December.

The total project cost is approximately $580,000, with $250,000 coming from a grant from the Washington State Improvement Board’s Complete Streets program. The balance will be paid for out of street funds.
